Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in DirectIQ DirectIQ Email Marketing allows SQL Injection. This issue affects DirectIQ Email Marketing: from n/a through 2.0.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in DirectIQ Email Marketing plugin ≤2.0 for WordPress allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract sensitive data from the underlying database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 9.3 critical rating due to its network attack vector, low complexity, and lack of required privileges or user interaction. No public exploit or active exploitation has been confirmed, and EPSS likelihood is very low (0.05%).
Technical ContextAI
This is a CWE-89 SQL injection in a WordPress email marketing plugin. The plugin improperly sanitizes user-supplied input before embedding it in SQL queries, allowing an attacker to manipulate database interactions. The vulnerability affects the plugin's codebase that interacts with the WordPress database, potentially exposing subscriber lists, configuration data, or stored credentials. The scope change in CVSS reflects that the vulnerable component (the plugin) permits access to the separate WordPress database system.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been confirmed. Until a fix is available, disable the DirectIQ Email Marketing plugin entirely. If immediate disabling is not possible, deploy a Web Application Firewall rule to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the plugin's endpoints. Restrict the WordPress database user permissions to the least privilege necessary (e.g., read-only where feasible) to limit data exposure. Monitor the Patchstack advisory for updates.
